Beautiful Lies

London, 1887. For heiress Maribel Campbell Lowe--the beautiful Chilean wife of a maverick Scottish politician--it is time to ambitiously apply herself to either poetry or photography, in this novel by the author of Savage Lands and The Great Stink. As her husband Edward's career hangs by a thread, however, the family that Maribel abandoned comes back to haunt them both. When the notorious newspaper editor Alfred Webster begins to ask pointed questions, Maribel fears he will not only destroy Edward's reputation but hers as well.
